Ichiro's Malt Double Distilleries

Review by Nonjatta contributor - Dramtastic:

Ichiro's Malt Double Distilleries. 46 per cent alcohol (abv).Nose: Lots of woody notes. Kind of like being in a carpenter's workshop, but sweet and floral, not austere. Also, unscented soap, pears and green apples.Palate: Basically follows the nose but adds sweet spices (cinnamon, nutmeg and licorice) and a slight soapiness to the mouth feel.Finish: Palate smacking sweet spices, sweet woodiness, florals, licorice, cream and a hint of mint ice cream.General Comment: Nothing much to complain about with this one, unless you have an aversion to woody malts.
